Xaver Bayer: The Alaska Road (Jung & Jung 2003) “I longed for conversation, wanted to share my view with someone. But only alone, it seemed undeniably clear to me, could I appreciate the color of the wood on a utility pole or the curve of a glass. When I was in company, or even just with one other person, I always felt like an imposter when I pretended to have discovered something beautiful.” (94)

The Greifenstein Power Plant is an impressive run-of-river power plant on the Danube River, located in the municipality of Stockerau in Lower Austria, about 20 km northwest of Vienna. Here are some interesting aspects of the power plant: 1. Construction and Commissioning: - The power plant was built between 1982 and 1984 and commissioned in 1985. - It is considered the youngest Danube power plant in Lower Austria. 2. Technical Features: - It is a run-of-river power plant that harnesses the flow of the Danube to generate electricity. - The plant is known for its efficient energy production and the integration of ecological measures. 3. Environmental Measures: - The Greifenstein Power Plant was designed as a model power plant for accompanying ecological measures to minimize its impact on the environment. - These measures include, among other things, fish ladders that allow fish to overcome the dam. 4. **Importance for energy supply**: - The power plant plays an important role in Austria's **energy supply** and contributes to the use of renewable energies. The Greifenstein power plant is therefore not only a technical masterpiece, but also an example of environmentally conscious energy production.

The Greifenstein power plant on the Danube in Lower Austria is a modern run-of-river power plant that supplies electricity to a large region. It is distinguished by its ecological measures, such as an irrigation system to maintain the Stockerau floodplain and a fish pass that supports the natural habitat of Danube fish. Visitors can cross the dam by bicycle and enjoy the impressive Danube and the power plant site from vantage points. The power plant impressively combines technology, nature conservation, and landscape conservation.

Danube Island North Tip - always good for a trip

It's simply beautiful here!

Since the bypass opened, the road here has been relatively quiet. It's a shame, though, for those residents whose homes had to be demolished...

You have to look twice to see if they're really real! :-D
